Many thanks once again!

Thanks for your replies. As expected, we didn't get it up & running, but we know a lot more now than we did before (& we still don't know really that much...). Agreed, andrewb, I wouldn't willingly hack. The game came pre-hacked 12+ years ago. To get a proper 801 cage in there, we'd need to...

Thanks for the further education. Yes, VectorCollector, I *did* read & absorb your 2nd post. I swear! :] It wasn't until yesterday that I was able to get my eyes on the monitor to verify what HV cage is in it. I also didn't 100% trust the parts list that I shared in my 1st post, b/c it was...

The day has come! Turns out I have 3 half days to execute an inelegant shotgun approach of swapping out everything that might be a culprit (and probably a bit more...). Today: Disassembled the monitor, installed about half of the cap/transistors kit, installed new big blue. Tomorrow: Finish...

Ordered, received, installed, tested a little...like! Good teardown guide here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,78233.0.html?PHPSESSID=h4kod0najd1dg3rmnkmqnqtb61 Boy, my MAME cabinet is a booger to service--what a hack. Ack! Thanks, -Jason

Thanks, Andrew. There lie the rubs: I'm trying to diagnose as much as I can remotely so that I can increase my chances of repair by swapping out the likely culprits during the half day that I'm visiting my brother's home (including the monitor cap kit), my brother is not comfortable mailing...

Thanks for all of your patience & for helping me out w/ info that I know could be dug up. We have neither a HV probe nor an oscilloscope. (Board repair isn't my forte, which is why I switched from collecting video games to pinball machines a while back!) New info from my brother: He can hear...

A few more tidbits of info: 7: Spot killer D507 on the deflection board is NOT on. Therefore, MPU is putting out good video signal, & the problem is in the monitor, right? 8: All fuses on power supply & near monitor are OK. 9. Unsure if Big Blue cap was replaced. I'll replace it. 10. No...

Thanks. I appreciate your jumping in with recommendations & ideas. Is the the deflection board, & is the spot killer LED the one that I circled? Thanks, -Jason

Howdy- I've been out of video games for many years now, but I'm visiting my brother in 2 months, & I am on a mission to get his monitor up & running. My goal in this thread is to try to figure out the likely culprit & then execute the repair in September. If it's a cap kit or similar, then...
